real estate agent: Have You Been Bit By The "Entrepreneur Bug?" - 06/08/09 08:49 PM
No doubt about it, we are experiencing some never-seen-before trials and tribulations in our profession. Mega real estate and mortgage companies have failed, businesses that have prevailed for decades have closed their doors. Other firms (real estate, law, mortgage and investment firms) have merged in order to survive.
Yet, there's something about these times--amongst the failures, difficulties, and economic stresses that still provides us professionals with the vision of HOPE. Hope to persevere. Hope to go grasp a little closer to one's dreams. Hope to press the "Now or Never" button and embrace the challenges that lies along the path to success.

real estate agent: Realtors, Want Free Advertising? Wear Your Name Badge - 01/06/07 10:17 AM
I Know, I Know,
This may sound like the "obvious" to any real estate professional. But did you know that this is one of the top, most overlooked advertising tools that Realtors fail to implement. Prime Example: How many of us have been to a nice restaurant, your child's school function or stood in line at the grocery market while wearing our name badge? Quite a few, I'm willing to bet.
For those of you who make this a daily routine, you are fully aware of the enormous power it brings. By wearing your name badge daily, you are in essence, a walking billboard----an instant messenger---a wealth of knowledge to many potential clients. It only takes seconds for someone … (15 comments)

In Today's Society,
It's hard for many to envision the "good" in mankind. Often times, we hear of violent crimes, trickery, and plain-old cruelty going on in the world.

These "angels" show us that we as individuals can utilize these good principles to greatly impact our world and turn what seems as a tragedy into a blessing! Afterall, these are some of the same principles that the National Association of Realtors ask us to employ throughout our daily activities of serving our clients … (9 comments)
